Speaking of peaches: I found my peach tree full
of Gypsy moth larvae a couple of days ago. So I sprayed with BT. Then I was
amazed to see clouds of bumblebees come to the leaves and lap up the spray
droplets.
I hope they are not taking back the bacteria to
their nests and killing the bumblebee larvae, since these bees seem to
have been active pollinators for my fruit plantings. Are the larvae
immune?
There are aerial BT sprayings of the mountains
here to deal with the extensive Gypsy moth population. Could honey bee colony
collapse relate these sprayings? I suppose the spray program diminishes
the butterfly population.

Hi Toni,
Peaches hang on pretty well. We've had
tremendous wind (and some hail) here with very few peaches on the
ground. The biggest problem is it slams the peaches into branches and
causes physical damage on some.

KS-received 6-7" of rain late last week.
Another 2-3" or more forecasted for tonight/tomorrow. Trees
drowning.

I have 23 baby peaches! And there's a tornado watch in
effect AGAIN today. That last tornado just missed me and hit Parkersburg,
IA. You many have seen it on the National News. I wonder if I will get one
peach after the wind, rain, hot, cold that we are having so far this year.
I suspect not. And to add insult to injury, there are no pears, no
cherries, no apples and no plums. Not a one on any of my trees.
